Identity Exposed

Inside the dimly lit hall, the faint candlelight flickered, and in the center of the hall stood two figures facing each other.

One of the figures, clad in armor and exuding an imposing aura, spoke in a low voice, "Ge Xiusi, are you really going to rebel?"

It was Mengka. Although he was overjoyed inside, he was still furious and looked extremely heartbroken.

"Hehehe~" Ge Xiusi sneered. "Mengka, what talk of rebellion? Aren't you here with the same purpose as me?"

The mocking tone made the other person's breathing become erratic, and he suddenly retorted, "How dare you! You're about to die, yet you dare to slander me!"

Ge Xiusi paid no attention to Mengka's rebuttal, but instead turned his gaze to Alora, who had been watching from the sidelines. Noticing Ge Xiusi's gaze, Alora looked up and gave him Yanran, which disgusted everyone present.

"Alora, it seems I've been underestimating you all along." There was no anger in Ge Xiusi's eyes, only a calm acceptance of everything. He had no regrets about losing to such an opponent.

Faced with Ge Xiusi's praise, Alora just gave a wicked smile, then respectfully said to Mengka, "I must thank Mengka for his great strength, which provided me with a good hand."

Hearing such sophisticated flattery, the latter was delighted and couldn't help but grin.

Ge Xiusi had no objection. Indeed, if he hadn't been wary of Mengka's strength, his tactical options would have been much more diverse.

"Ge Xiusi, you've already lost. Do you have any last words?" Mengka, feeling confident of victory, spoke magnanimously to Ge Xiusi. Of course, if the other party wanted to ask him to spare his life, Mengka would not agree.

In fact, Ge Xiusi would not choose such a cowardly way of living. As a powerful Demon Commander general, he must not compromise his principles.

However...

In response to Mengka's condescending words, Ge Xiusi merely scoffed and sneered, "You think you've really secured your victory?"

"Oh?" Mengka quietly became more vigilant. When facing an enemy as cunning as Ge Xiusi, he never hesitated to measure his opponent by the highest standards.

"Then I'll have to see what else you're capable of!" The danger level in his heart was at its maximum, but on the surface Mengka was completely unguarded and even became more arrogant.

"Well then... King's Hall Highness," just as Mengka and the others thought Ge Xiusi was about to unleash some powerful attack, secretly channeling their energy and focusing intently on observing his movements, the latter surprised them with this unexpected move.

The other party knelt on one knee and respectfully bowed, saying, "Please show yourself now!"

Um?

This left Mengka and the others completely bewildered. Did this guy want the King's Hall to personally appear and save their lives?

However, unlike Mengka and the others, "Alora" at this time is Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.

Ever since he entered this hall today, he had had a sense of foreboding. As the conversation deepened, this feeling intensified, and now it had reached its peak.

At this moment, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice's body tensed up involuntarily, ready to deal with any sudden situation, or even escape directly.

"Ge Xiusi, it seems you're not so stupid after all!" Just as everyone was lost in thought, two figures appeared behind the thin curtain, and at the same time, the hoarse voice of an old man clearly reached everyone's ears.

How could that be?

Mengka felt a chill run down his spine. Was this a trap set for him? Slightly uneasy, he unconsciously glanced at the strategist, Alora.

To their astonishment, they found that the other person's brows were furrowed, staring intently at the figure behind the gauze curtain, and there was even a bit of cold sweat on their forehead.

Upon seeing the somewhat familiar figure, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice felt a sense of foreboding.

"What's going on? Wasn't Alora dead? How did she end up here?"

The original plan against Alora was jointly executed by Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice and Xiao Han, who witnessed Alora's death. But now they're here.

Rather than saying it was completely unexpected, it was more like they didn't want to believe this accident. Because if this were to come true, it would mean everything was exposed, so why had the so-called King's Hall remained silent all this time?

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice didn't dare to think any further, as the consequences would be unimaginable. Now, he could only pray that things wouldn't develop in the direction he had in mind.

However... things didn't go as planned.

When everyone saw the familiar face behind the King's Hall, everyone except Ge Xiusi was shocked.

In particular, Mengka, who was looking in the direction of the gaze, stared intently at the other person, then stiffly turned his head to look at "Alora" beside him.

Speechless.

"Your... King's Hall Highness," Mengka said in a trembling voice, "What is going on?"

His fingers darted back and forth between the two Alora, his eyes filled with barely concealed horror. Years of navigating the edge of life and death told him that the Alora beside him was the one with the problem.

However, he also didn't want to believe that his right-hand man was a treacherous person, and that he and the others were being completely manipulated by him.

"What's going on?" Ge Xiusi wasn't going to tolerate Mengka's stubbornness, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Of course, it's what Lord Mengka is thinking?"

Lord Mengka?

Mengka a bitter smile. This address, which was originally very comforting, now sounded so jarring. It was a huge irony!

"Who exactly are you?" Perhaps out of anger, Mengka laughed out loud and asked the familiar stranger beside him in a calm tone.

"Your Excellency, please show yourself!" The King's Hall was in a very good mood and smiled as he spoke to Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice.

"How did you find me?" The voice was no longer alluring and seductive, but cold and indifferent. The disgusting Charm Demon who used to be painted with Mengka had been replaced by a cold and aloof man dressed in white.

Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice had a pretty good idea of what had happened. He realized that he and Xiao Han had probably been under the other party's surveillance as soon as they entered the Sealed World.

In other words, he and Xiao Han were acting like clowns, causing trouble right under the nose of this King's Hall. Thinking of this, Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice clenched her fists.

"Guests from the Fierce Qi Continent, are you satisfied with my hospitality?" The King's Hall did not answer, but instead showed his achievements to Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice with a delighted expression.

Fierce Qi Continent? Everyone stared in shock at Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice. This person really was from that other world. What, then, was his purpose in coming here?

"Hmph!" Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice snorted coldly, remaining silent. But at this moment, he was only putting on a tough front; in reality, he was panicking terribly!

She prayed that Xiao Han would not walk into her trap, feeling deeply ashamed.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to invite him, Xiao Han wouldn't have come, let alone stepped into this carefully laid trap.

"Then, Your Excellency, may you show yourself now?" The King's Hall was not particularly surprised by the reaction of the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, and simply called out to a certain space in the palace.

Um?

The Demon Commander, who had just been immersed in the origin of the Fallen Thunder Crystal Ice, were instantly alarmed. Following the King's Hall's gaze, they mobilized the power within their bodies.

Under the combined might of nearly ten Demon Commander, everything in the hall was instantly reduced to dust, scattered all over the ground. The surrounding space could not withstand such immense pressure, and numerous dark cracks appeared.
